Pergolesi's Stabat Mater
Sat Feb 27 · 8pm, NEC's Jordan Hall (Boston) / Sun Feb 28 · 3pm, Harvard's Sanders Theatre (Cambridge)
Marc Minkowski pairs two solo Bach cantatas with Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, the setting of Mary's grief at the crucifixion that the composer finished in the final months of his life, at twenty-six. Soprano Maya Kherani and countertenor Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen are the soloists, one night each at Jordan Hall and Sanders.
